The Liberated woman Podcast with Tamu Thomas

Acknowledging your courage.

I wrote some words to share with the wonderful humans in my Sovereign group coaching programme as they are doing such courageous work to create more helpful ways of being.

 

Then I thought about some of the issues in the world right now and how they can distance us from how courageous we are being as we journey towards healing our inner relationships. So I thought I would share these words with you too.

 

Thank you for the inspiration Sovereign queens. I see you and honour you.

The safety of connection

Another day another podcast!

 

Today I am talking about the difference between the protective pattern of attachment that enables us to survive and connection that allows us to feel safe.

 

At the end I asked these questions:

What does safety mean to you?

What does safety feel like in your body? What sensations tell you you’re safe, where do you feel them?

Who are you with when you feel these sensations of safety?

Where are you when you feel them?

What are you doing?

 

I mention Sadie Tichelaar, Gabriella Espinonsa the Non-Linear Movement Method, Billy Ocean. 

 

I also mention my Sovereign group coaching experience which is open for enrolment until Friday 17th December 2021. Details here.

Witness the bigness

I have had a number of conversations with women about struggling to find a coach, mentor, therapist that can hold their 'bigness'.

 

These are often sensitive women, even though they may not view themselves that way. They tend to have big energy, big feelings, big emotions, big views, big wisdom, big power but don't know how to hold and channel it. This is usually because we are conditioned to play small and not be too much.

 

This feeds into feeling like you are simultaneously too much and not enough. As such this can create an environment where people say that they were unable to work with whichever helping professional because they couldn't handle how big they are.

 

However, when I think about my life experience and coaching practice what I think is happening is that people with big feelings etc are under-skilled and unable to hold their power as they, like most of us have been conditioned to play small.

 

As such, they unconsciously make other people responsible for their bigness. This way they can unconsciously blame others and their confirmation bias confirms that they are beyond being supported because they are indeed too much and not enough. Hyper-independence and loneliness prevails and the cycle repeats.

 

I can help unravel this and support you to learn how to take care of your needs so that you feel grounded and strong enough to be a conduit for your power rather than burned by it.

The fear of what we desire most.

I am back with a rebranded podcast. Today I am exploring fearing what we desire most and how this can lead to self-abandonment.

"Abandoning ourselves to care for others makes us lonely and reduces our capacity to truly give and receive love. It’s a pattern that’s incredibly hard to identify because it is a sophisticated shapeshifter that can provide immediate gratification and at times makes us feel righteous".

 

I invite you to join me in providing an olive branch to hurts we have internalised by engaging in an exercise to offer healing to a (light) wound from the past.

 

Big up to my friends Cee and Sareta who inspired me to stop waiting to restart my podcast when I listened to their new podcast, "Women Who Rebrand"

 

I mentioned Peter Levine, listen to him talk about trauma here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1RnTipiU_Q

My life-changing group coaching programme Sovereign is open for enrolment until 10/12/21. Find out more here.

Three Sixty Conversations with Nicky Clinch on answering the call of life.

Welcome to episode 91. I am joined by Nicky Clinch, Maturation Coach & Facilitator, Spiritual Mentor, CEO & Entrepreneur. Her mission in life is to help people break free of the confines of their past traumas, self-defeating patterns and suffering so that they can realise, and come home to, who they truly are.

 

Nicky shares how maturation supports us to be present with and heal trauma so that the wounded stop inflicting wounds on the wounded.

 

We speak candidly on how this work helps people dismantle racism, become actively anti-racist and close the gap on separation.

 

There are many mic drop moments in this conversation about the messiness that is coming home to alignment.

Three Sixty Conversations with Claudine Thornhill on living your optimal life

Welcome to episode 90!

Today I am joined by award-winning Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist and Wellness Coach, Claudine Thornhill, founder of Claudine J. Thornhill Nutrition. Claudine which supports women to eat well, feel well and live fully.

Claudine helps women have better periods, address womb health issues and transition through perimenopause and menopause with ease.

In this episode, Claudine shares information about nutrition and the ways food can support us in highly stressful situations. The conversation evolved into a healing dialogue about the ways systematic racism impacts black people from code-switching, second-guessing and internalising micro-aggressions as a means to navigate the complexity of being a black professional. 

We explore the ways this method of protection could be stored in the body as fibroids and stress-related illness.

This podcast is not a substitute for medical advice or a consultation with a professional nutritional therapist.
